Dance & Critical Theory Group
DCTG | 2010 subjects | Membership | History
One or more members of Dance & Critical Theory Group convene its monthly meetings by suggesting a text/ book/ article, DVD, performance or an idea from one's practice related to critical theory to discuss. Conveners self-elect to 'lead' a session and distribute reading or performance lists that other members engage with in order to discuss.
The group currently meets on the third Monday of each month during a fixed 4-6 month period.
